Working on transforming an empty lot into a garden? Trying to organize tenants to advocate for better housing conditions? Hoping to get your elementary school to recycle more?

If you’ve got a community or school improvement project that needs funding, the [Citizens Committee for New York City](http://www.citizensnyc.org/?ref=bklyner.com) is currently accepting applications for their [Neighborhood Grants](http://www.citizensnyc.org/grants/neighborhood-grants?ref=bklyner.com). The funding range is up to $3,000, and they prioritize groups based in low-income neighborhoods and Title I public schools.

Here are a few of their guidelines for grant applicants:

- Applications are accepted from resident-led groups based primarily in low-income neighborhoods across NYC.
- Groups can be long-standing or in the process of forming, and don’t have to have non­‐profit or 501(c)(3) status.
- These grants are not for: individuals; for-profit projects; businesses; organizations with paid staff; fraternal and partisan organizations; groups with an annual budget of greater than $40,000; religion-based initiatives; projects of staffed organizations.

See the complete guidelines [here](http://www.citizensnyc.org/grants/neighborhood-grants?ref=bklyner.com).

Applications must be submitted online or emailed as a Word doc or PDF file, mailed, or faxed by 11:59pm on January 26\. Applicants will be notified whether or not they’ve received the grant by late April.
